A friend recently asked me this when she was struggling to assert her needs at work and with friends. My answer? Absolutely not.
We all have the right to speak up for what we want and need.
But here’s the thing—if you feel guilty or hesitant, it’s probably because your boundary isn’t fully embodied.
A boundary isn’t just a mental note; it has to come from deep within you.
When my friend asked if she was being too harsh by setting boundaries, I told her: "People won’t hear you if your boundary is just in your head. It has to be in your body, fully aligned with your truth."
When you speak from this place, you don’t need to raise your voice or get angry.
You simply state your truth with confidence and clarity.
And guess what? People listen. They respect you, and they don’t push back.
Next time you need to set a boundary, take a breath. Drop into your body, get clear on what you need, and then speak up. You’ll be amazed at the shift it creates.
Own your truth. Own your space. And watch how the world responds.
